Andrew Jackson

"From my perspective as an Alabama person I believe that the Battle of Burnt Corn Creek could be mentioned when talking about Ft. Mims and the evidence of the British giving arms to the Creeks. Great tour, all four of us enjoyed it." -- Tom McMillan

"Our group really enjoyed the tour. There wasn't as much congestion as we feared and things went smoothly. The video is done so well and is very informative. Although we have lived here many years, we drive by these historic spots without fully appreciating their significance. AND we did it on Feb. 22, the very date that the Adams-Onis Treaty was signed 200 years ago. Great job, Curtis." -- Harriett Sauls

"We enjoyed the tour. Wish we could have gone to Ft. Barrancas but we do understand. " -- April Pope
